Don't bother me
I'm writing a poem
I need quiet
my attention span is short
I had an idea
but before I could write it down
it got loose and sped away
now I have to go chasing it
and I'm still in my pajamas
it's hard enough to think up a poem
much less trying to chase one down
in slippers
poems are fast
and fleeting things
Corvettes of the literary world
and I'm only
on a scooter.
To make chasing poems more simple
Shed your pyjamas as you run
Then kick off your slippers to join them
Invite everyone in on the fun
You may not catch up with your poem
Which could have the last laugh on you
But those who do join you will be many
I doubt those who join will be few ?
Clever thinking dk
Brian -
how soon we pretend to forget
The days of the tape cassette
But I tell you one thing that "progress" got wrong -
They're perfect for putting words to a song!.

Mark...what actually is a tape recorder?
Know the feeling - and my trusty tape recorder bears witness to my
own literary sacrifices involving leaving a warm bed to record the
words before they leave the mind (which always happens if I return
to sleep). Zzzzz.
PS I envisaged you on a tug on a salvage
operation - rather than a scooter trying to catch up. Funny how mind pictures work!
